hello,

i have a game where i read txt files inside the Assets directory via StreamReader.

unfortunately this doesnt work on the mobile device. it fails with a file not found error. everything else works fine though.

There is no separate Assets folder in a build, that’s something which only exists in the editor. Don’t bother with System.IO, just use TextAsset.

use the resources folder
